All it takes is one drop to ruin your tablet or laptop computer (along with your music, photos and files). With that in mind, Pelican Products, Inc., the leader in the design and manufacture of both high-performance protective case solutions and advanced portable lighting systems, has introduced a range of HardBackTM Protector Cases as travel armor for portable electronics from 7 and 10 inch tablets to 14 and 15 inch laptops.

Hardback Protector Cases

Produced from a design partnership with BMW DesignWorks, the HardBack protector case series cases are built with all the legendary features of a Pelican case - crush resistant, watertight and an automatic pressure equalization valve that prevents vacuum lock to make it easier to open at any altitude. "We are pleased to have combined BMW's amazing design know-how with our 30+ years of experience to produce this innovative series of case as extremely tough protection for almost any portable device on the market today," said Dinis Jablonski, Director of Product Management.

In addition, all cases in the series offer anti-scratch foam inserts to add another layer of protection for delicate electronics. To ensure that they stay shut in tough conditions, they also sport stainless steel hardware and easy-snap latches. Like all PelicanTM products, they are backed by a Legendary Guarantee of Excellence.
